| 1447834 | 2018-03-31 07:07:00 | Piriform has been taken over by avast, so you have to be on the lookout for unwanted software. No software is totally free, some run adverts, others try to distribute software. Current versions of CCleaner are good. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1447835 | 2018-03-31 07:21:00 | Just to test I downloaded the latest version from Here (www.ccleaner.com) and no additional programs to be seen. However I have always downloaded the slim version | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1447836 | 2018-04-02 22:53:00 | CC cleaner is now owned by Avast/AVG . Those 2 AV products are riddled with scareware popups & will install crap that you dont need or want So download CC with caution. Just co-incidence that by default it autoloads on startup?. Sort of defeating the purpose of crap removal The portable/light version may be the only 'safe' option. See below :-) from Nov 2017 www.afterdawn.com "CCleaner becomes adware" "One of the more popular Windows cleanup tools, CCleaner, has added Avast ads on to their software" Or just download an older version , from before all the ~issues~ |

| 1447837 | 2018-04-02 23:50:00 | Just co-incidence that by default it autoloads on startup?. Sort of defeating the purpose of crap removal You know that can be turned off, or change various options during install . All its loading is to check for updates and keeps an eye on how much crap is being built up, and warns the person of it. Before that, as most techs will know, install Ccleaner on someone's PC after / during fixing it and it doesn't ever get run again until the next time they go back to fix something else, which could be years later. Most people don't have a clue as to functions on software that's installed. |
